That's good too. You can try a variation of the above that might save you a step: Unplug the hard drive's power cable; leave the SCSI ribbon connected. As Bertrand says, that may force the computer to boot from the CD. If so, reconnect the hard drive's power while the computer is still running from the CD. The HD still isn't mounted of course, but see if HDT can initialize the hard drive anyway. It may need to be mounted first somehow; don't know the limitations of old versions of HDT. -David -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
